Tom Brady unexpectedly became one of the biggest talking points of Gucci’s Cruise 2027 show after making his runway debut in New York City. Videos of the former NFL star walking the catwalk quickly went viral online, sparking everything from praise to playful criticism across social media.
While the internet had mixed reactions, insiders now claim his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, had a far more supportive response. According to sources, the supermodel reportedly admired Brady for stepping outside of his comfort zone and trying something completely new.
Gisele Bundchen reportedly applauded Tom Brady’s effort, claims source
Sources claim Gisele Bundchen found Tom Brady’s runway debut more impressive than awkward, despite the internet’s relentless commentary. The fashion event featured several celebrity names, including Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, Mariah Carey, and Cindy Crawford. However, Brady’s appearance generated some of the biggest online reactions.
The former quarterback wore an all-black leather Gucci look as he walked the runway in front of the fashion crowd. Soon after clips surfaced online, social media users began weighing in on his performance. Some praised him for trying something unexpected, while others mocked his posture and walk.
Despite the online criticism, insiders claim Bundchen respected the effort behind the moment. “Her attitude was basically, ‘Good for him for trying,’” one source told Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice.” According to the insider, the model understands firsthand how demanding runway modeling can be and views the appearance as “fun to watch.”
What’s more, friends of the former couple allegedly believe Brady deserves credit for embracing a completely different environment after his football career. Another insider claimed the retired athlete “absolutely has the look for fashion,” though they suggested he may need more practice if he plans to continue walking runways in the future.
Bundchen and Brady finalized their divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage and share two children together. Since then, both have moved forward with separate lives and projects. Bundchen has largely kept a lower profile after marrying jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in December last year. Meanwhile, Brady has remained active through media appearances, business ventures, and now, apparently, fashion events.
